Tour Description

Why is Rome home to the country’s most tight-knit and deep-rooted Jewish community? What’s so special about Trastevere, and why does everyone recommend visiting? Seize the day with Carpe Diem, and we’ll answer all your questions on this exclusive tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere.

Rome’s Jewish community has been rooted here for thousands of years, even pre-dating the time of Julius Caesar. Through its ancient, medieval, and modern wonders – from the Theatre of Marcellus to the Great Synagogue – Rome’s Jewish Ghetto tells a fascinating story of segregation, persecution and resilience. To truly understand the city of Rome, you need to know how its various communities intersected with each other and how the City of the Caesars became the Rome of the Popes and then the Italian capital.

Uncover the secrets of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto

This tour fully immerses you in the history of the Jewish Ghetto. Discover the 1st-century remains of the Theatre of Marcellus and Portico of Octavia, the sister of the emperor Augustus. Experience the tight-knit community of Rome’s Jewish population, all centred around Ghetto’s Great Synagogue, Tempio Maggiore. And trace the outlines of the Ghetto’s medieval walls, which kept thousands of Jews in inhuman conditions until the Ghetto’s abolition in the 19th century. 

Cross over Tiber Island into the medieval quarter of Trastevere

After uncovering the secrets of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto, your expert, fluent guide will lead you across the River Tiber and into the artisan district of Trastevere. Your journey across the river takes you across the city’s oldest bridge, the Ponte Fabricio, which has connected the eastern bank of the city to Tiber Island since 62 BC.

As we explore Trastevere, your guide will lead you through the picture-perfect cobbled streets of this traditional medieval neighbourhood. Snap your photos and take your time to admire the unique architecture of this authentic neighbourhood (and hub of Roman nightlife).

Stumble upon the oldest church in Rome

Our final stop in Trastevere is Santa Maria in Trastevere, one of the oldest churches still standing in Rome. Incorporating columns retrieved from the nearby imperial Baths of Caracalla, this church is a masterpiece in Roman ingenuity and recycling. Here, you will have more than enough time to ask your expert guide everything you’d like to know about this ancient work of architectural and historical beauty.

This exclusive experience unearths over two millennia of history in a small group with an expert guide. Head underground and explore ancient temples and churches at the breathtaking basilica di San Clemente, before visiting Rome’s largest network of catacombs which still contain the bodies of over 150,000 ancient Romans. 

Our tour starts on the ground level of the Basilica San Clemente, beautiful medieval church and architectural masterpiece. Spread over multiple layers, the ‘lasagna church’ is one of the few sites that allows you travel through time to discover ruins from centuries apart.

After marvelling at the stunning marble floors and intricate décor, we’ll start our descent. The lower floors lead to an older, larger church that was built in the 4th Century, before descending deeper into a cult temple, dedicated to ancient Eastern god Mithras.

Journeying even further underground, your guide will bring to life an ancient Roman apartment complex as you walk through an ancient doorway and even cross an age-old street. Understand what life was really like for ancient Romans in one of the best-preserved Roman homes in the city.

The adventure continues along Via Appia Antica, the first ancient Roman highway, to the Catacombs of Domitilla. Catacombs have been a secret part of Roman history for almost two thousand years. Your expert historian guide will tell you about how ancient Christian burial rites and rituals were performed so many centuries ago, and how the handmade tunnels are filled with the bodies of ancient Romans.

Our visit will include the tomb of Diogenes, several crypts decorated with Pagan and Christian symbols and motifs as well as the oldest known fresco of the last supper. Your expert guide will lead you through the dark underbelly of ancient Rome at a leisurely, comfortable pace. 

Please note that the cost of this tour includes the entrance tickets to the Catacomb di Santa Domitilla and the Basilica San Clemente.

Tour Description

Home to Rome’s most impressive collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings and sculpture, the Borghese Gallery is a must-visit for all art lovers. The 17th-century villa is an artwork in itself, furnished with frescoes by the Florentine-trained artist Ludovico Cigoli and situated in the midst of a vast landscaped garden. But the artworks it contains are unrivalled in Rome, featuring sculptures and paintings by the likes of Bernini, Caravaggio, Raphael, and Canova. 

Tickets to the Borghese Gallery are hard to find – and for good reason. Everyone wants to step inside, but few get the chance. Book your tour of the Borghese Gallery today and you can be among the lucky few. Simply turn up on time, and we’ll take care of the rest.

After meeting the rest of the tour group in the lush surroundings of Villa Borghese park, you and your expert art-historian guide will make your way into the gallery. This 17th-century villa is home to countless works of priceless art and is named after a passionate and wealthy cardinal, Scipione Borghese. 

As an art enthusiast and nephew to the Pope himself, Borghese was known for going above and beyond to make sure he could own and display the masterpieces that caught his eye. You’ll have the chance to learn everything there is to know about the Cardinal, from how he hosted extravagant parties to the infamous threats he made to artists worldwide in an attempt to take their art for his own.

Discover the most revered sculptures and portraits in western art

After meeting your private guide by the Arch of Constantine, in the shadow of the ancient amphitheatre, you’ll step straight inside the Colosseum with your priority access tickets. Your expert storyteller will guide you through the rich history of Rome’s most iconic monument.

Discover which animals the Romans caged beneath the Colosseum and how they transported them up onto the arena sands. Recreate the architectural ingenuity of the Colosseum’s hypogeum (underground chamber) and retractable arena floor. And climb up to the Colosseum’s upper-levels, where you’ll learn all about the social status of its spectators, discover the gory norms of ancient entertainment, and geek out on the cult games and gladiatorial combat that thrilled its crowds. 

Stepping outside the Colosseum, we’ll then walk along the ancient Via Sacra (Sacred Way), a route taken by triumphant generals celebrating their victories, and climb the Palatine Hill.

Climb the Palatine Hill for a picturesque view over the Forum

The Palatine is the most picturesque of Rome’s Seven Hills, and was the site on which Romulus founded the city in the 8th century BC. As Rome transformed from Republic to Empire, the Palatine Hill became the Beverley Hills of the ancient world. Your private guide will breathe life into the ruins of its luxury palaces and wow you with stories of the scandals and intrigues of Rome’s imperial families.

Our final stop is the Roman Forum, the beating heart of ancient Rome. Venture through the commercial and cultural centre of the imperial capital and follow the footsteps of the emperors and legionaries alike.

Your expert private guide will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire when Nero’s Golden Palace fell and the Colosseum was constructed in its place. These were times when Rome was ruled by all-powerful emperors (sometimes wise, sometimes wacky), the city was flooded with exotic riches from around the world, and the Colosseum acted as the city’s main stage for showing off the animals and people that Rome had conquered and captured.

Explore the luxury residences of the Palatine Hill

Next, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill, where Romulus founded the city. The Palatine Hill is a real archaeological wonder, home to settlements from the Iron Age to the 16th century. Gaze upon such sites as the Hut of Romulus, the houses of Augustus and Livia, and the Imperial Palace, where the emperors in their family engaged in ruling, politicking, and scheming.

Immerse yourself in history in the Roman Forum

The final destination on your private Colosseum arena tour is the Roman Forum. As the beating heart of ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was once a bustling hub of markets, law courts, temples, and more. It was here that Julius Caesar was cremated, here where two disgraced emperors were murdered in 69 AD, and here where Cicero delivered the speeches that shaped western culture for centuries. 

At the end of your private tour, feel free to stay and explore the Forum at your own pace.
